My Heterogeneous Volumes system was featured in yesterday's State of Unreal. It was a lot of fun working with Skydance New Media to push the limits of what we could achieve. Everything demonstrated here will be in the upcoming 5.4 engine release.

Right before our company break, I added some additional info for using heterogeneous volumes with our path tracer thanks to the quick review from @_pmkelly.
More updates are coming in 5.4, but for now, I hope this helps those using them.

I finished adding two new docs last week for our experimental features Sparse Volume Textures and Heterogeneous Volume Actor.
Go check them out if it's your sort of thing!

If you’re at #UnrealFest please consider attending our talk on Niagara Fluids, Sparse Volume Textures and Heterogeneous Volumes. It is at 4:45 in Room 238!

#UnrealEngine's new SVTs at work in a game like context :)
This VDB has a voxel size of 0.05 from Houdini, plays like a dream.

Unreal 5.3 Preview is out so it's now time to test VDB import with Sparse Volume Textures (SVT) and Heterogeneous Volumes. Combined with Embergen exported simulations this is 🔥.

We've reworked rendering for #Niagara Fluids in #UnrealEngine 5.2. Thanks to @_pmkelly's awesome work, you can use many lights, lighting channels and have geometry shadow volumes. You now have the same real time workflow for rendering scene geometry and volumes!

#UnrealEngine 5.2 has Sequencer based caching for #Niagara simulations, including fluids! It is very easy to setup, and lets you do cool things like scrub a simulation in real time. For more, check out this short tutorial video:

Together with @EpicShaders and @_pmkelly we are doing an in-depth talk on Lumen at #rtadvances. We'll cover (virtually) how we trace rays, reuse computations, solve the whole indirect lighting path and noise, and scaled all of this to "The Matrix Awakens".
